*So I took a look at the water pump and it looked fine.*

*I buttoned up everything back together cursing and coolant started CIRCULATING!!!*

I am starting to believe that the belt was not properly tensioned by the mechanic who changed the headgasket.

I took the truck for a drive on the highway and no overheating!!


Thanks to all who were lending the helpful advice!!!


Moral of this story:

Overheating on the highway or no circulation? Check your belts for proper tension when all else fails!
